Anyone read "How To Make Your Car Handle" by Fred Puhn? I'd like to learn more about the relationship of the different aspects of my track car (relation of spring rates to shock rebound settings to AR settings, etc).
Anyone have any recommended readings? Thanks, Bill P. |

Several times I have looked into Race Car engineering classes in Europe. Cant bring myself to move to the UK..LOL
I F-'d up big time. I grew up in Arlington Texas.. home to UT Arlington and the most winning SAE college team in the racing category!! I knew about back then, but didnt think much about it. I always ran across them at SCCA AutoX events testing.. I just couldnt bring myself to be a full blown "engineer" even though I studied under a mechanical engineer while going to school. Now I could kick myself. B |
